The Nation Newspaper ‘Pipeline surveillance too strategic for non-security men’
Ex-militant leader, Eshanakpe Israel a.k.a Akpodoro, has called on the Federal Government to revoke the oil pipelines surveillance contract awarded to a firm, owned by a top poltician. The firm in question is not rendering any security service but only collected the contract for selfish reasons.
The contract, which ought to have been awarded to Urhobo former agitators, was awarded to the top politician under the guise of empowering Urhobo youths. Such act, he noted, is deceptive, saying the contract should be revoked and awarded to Urhobo former militants as was done in other ethnic groups, where such went to former warlords with the expertise to handle such job. “Since the contract was awarded to this poltician, there is no record of any Urhobo youth he’s is paying. There’s no visible person that is carrying out any surveillance on the pipelines in Urhobo corridor of the Western axis of the oil pipelines.
He called on President Bola Tinubu to rejig the reward system and not toe the wrongful path of the former administration, which patronised the opposition and their in-house collaborators who sabotaged policies and programmes of that government.
